The fourth Australian Alumni Awards were celebrated at a gala dinner in Jakarta on 11 June 2011.
The night was hosted by Australian Ambassador for Indonesia, Mr Greg Moriarty, who commented that the strong educational links shared between the two countries has helped to build enduring relationships at the individual, faculty, institutional and country level.
The 11 Award categories recognised Alumni who have excelled in their respective fields. This year Distinguished Alumni Awards were given to H.E. Vice President Professor Dr. Boediono, an alumnus of the University of Western Australia and Monash University; and H.E. Vice Trade Minister Mahendra Siregar, an alumnus of Monash University . Six of this year’s winners, including Professor Dr. Boediono and Mr Siregar, have been recipients of Australia Award Scholarships. The reception has become an important annual networking function for the Australian embassy and the alumni community.
